Varieties
Reim's wide range of models for little fashionistas covers groups of young consumers from birth to 14-15 years old.
So, for newborns, there is a separate collection of Minitec. The manufacturer immediately took into account the requirement of this special group of consumers - in overalls of this series, the fabric is softer and more elastic so as not to damage the delicate skin of the child and not to impede movements. The filler is also different - often in such models natural materials are used, for example goose down, there is additional insulation.
In this age group, Reima exclusively offers transformable overalls, recognizing their great versatility, models always come with a margin of 6 cm, taking into account the growth rate of the child.
Children from 8 months to preschool age are also offered various fused models. Reima has paid attention to the smallest detail in all her baby products - from insulated buttocks and obligatory reflectors to a pacifier pocket.
For students, the choice becomes wider. Along with fused, the manufacturer suggests paying attention to separate models. In the latter, semi-overalls are sold separately from the jacket, which allows you to assemble an individual set.
Clothing is designed on average for temperatures up to -25 degrees, however, there are both warmer and colder models.

Colors and prints
Reim's colors are very diverse. The most commonly used colors are dark blue, blue, light blue, hot pink, in many models there is black. All colors are combined very organically and naturally.
Color combinations are often used. This allows for smooth transitions.
Each model has its own range, for example, the Kiddo series of clothes for children from 6 to 14 years old. Often, models similar in cut, but with different patterns, are singled out in a separate lineup. Kiddo Kide is recognizable by its geometric pattern, while Kiddo Juonet is recognizable by its more rigorous combination of two colors.
Models for babies can be plain, such as Copenhagen, or, on the contrary, very bright and eye-catching. At the same time, even bright things do not look colorful, a feeling of an exquisite pattern is created.
How to choose
When choosing a suitable model from Reim, it is necessary, first of all, to determine what properties the product should have. Let's take a closer look at the categories already mentioned in order to identify the main features.
Reimatec
You can identify it by the silver label. Distinctive features of this category:
-
Products are provided with a membrane layer.
-
Temperature conditions - up to -25, subject to the principle of layering - up to -30 degrees.
-
They have excellent water resistance (8000-15000 mm), wind protection and wear resistance.
-
All seams are taped.
Reima Red or Casual
It is highlighted with a red label and has the following features:
-
Clothing is not membrane, does not require additional layers.
-
More elegant models.
-
Equipped with polyurethane impregnation, but the waterproofing is lower than that of Reimatec (3000-10000 mm).
-
Things are designed for temperatures up to -20 degrees.
-
The seams are glued only the main ones.
-
Good wear resistance.
Kiddo models also belong to this category, however, according to their characteristics, they are a cross between the two categories. Trousers of the series are not inferior to Reimatec in their qualities. The upper part has only water-repellent properties.
Separately, the Reimatec + or black series stands out with enhanced weather protection, high strength, equipped with additional elements.
In addition, when choosing clothing, it is necessary to pay attention to the symbols used to indicate the characteristics of this particular product. The most commonly used symbols are in the form of drops - from one to four, a snowflake - from one to three.
The more pictures in the symbol, the more water-resistant or frost-resistant model.
Reviews
In general, the brand seems very interesting and attractive. However, the opinions of consumers on her account were divided.Some believe that Reim's overalls and semi-overalls are only suitable for temperatures close to or equal to zero, since the products are “thin” and require additional layers of clothing. Others believe that these are excellent and high-quality things, warm and practical. Very many people liked the colors of Reim.
From the foregoing, we can conclude: if the child is mobile, active, and you are ready to apply the principle of layering, which is required by Reim's products, this is your option.
If you are afraid that the child will catch a cold and get sick, or the child has a melancholy temperament and can draw for hours, sitting in the snow, it may be worth paying attention to another company.
